The preparation, creation and distribution methods of food are always changing. The availability of ingredients, new innovations, imports / exports and migration all contribute to this change, as well as our attitudes. Food is a tool for communication, a gift, a cultural difference and a similarity.

In the virtual world: Technology

How can one have an intimate experience through the internet, not in the sense of escaping to a virtual world, but in having a significant connection with an individual in a distant location?

Internet technologies such as Skype, live internet TV and other connective software allow two parties to interact (through audio and video). This eliminates expensive and often impossible physical travel, but does not solve the ongoing problems of facilitating exchange and dialogue. Virtual Chef explores these virtual communications artistically, creating a shared experience.
